Retired U.S. Air Force Capt. Ralph Galati, receives his final flight during the 51st annual Freedom Flyer reunion at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas, March 21, 2024. Galati, former F-4 Phantom pilot, was shot down over North Vietnam in 1972 and was a prisoner of war for 14 months. The 560th Flying Training Squadron hosts the reunion, a gathering to reunite and honor Vietnam War aviator POWs. The three-day event included a “fini-flight” or final flight, which traditionally celebrates a military aviator's final combat mission or transition to retirement, a tradition many Vietnam War aviator POWs missed.
